BabylissPRO Volare Luxury Blowdryer
BabylissPRO has just introduced its new luxury blowdryer: Volare. The Volare blower is exceptional in that Ferrari engineers help develop and design the motor that "drives" the blow dryer. To introduce the blower to distributors and the press, Lee Rizzuto, CEO of Conair, rented out the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and invited all to drive REAL Ferrari's along the course. Just 13 signed on, and Modern's Beauty and Fashion Director Maggie Mulhern was just one of two women willing to brave the course and the 115 degrees! "I got it up to 125 miles per hour," said Maggie. "What a blast! Oh...and the blow dryer is fantastic!" Watch the Volare video at www.babylissus.com.
Fleet Week: A Barber Shop on the USS Iwo Jima
Wonder how all of our troops keep their coifs so, well, coiffed? Beauty and Fashion Director caught up with some of the soldiers aboard the USS IWO JIMA, the Amphibious Assault Ship and aircraft carrier that was docked in NYC during Fleet Week earlier this summer. While there, she visited the salon/barbershop hidden deep inside the ship. "That crew really knows how to sport a 'crew'," says Maggie regarding the coif of choice. "It was an honor to be aboard such a magnificent ship and meet with these magnificent people who are sacrificing so much to keep us all safe at home."
